Eukanuba World Challenge Winner

For the sixth year, the exciting Eukanuba World Challenge competition will feature dogs representing more than 40 countries from the far reaches of the globe competing for world-wide bragging rights!

The Eukanuba World Challenge offers top dogs from around the world the unique opportunity to participate in the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship in Orlando, Florida. All eligible dogs may compete to win the $50,000 for Best in Show.

Dogs also compete for the title of Eukanuba World Challenge Champion, with a $10,000 prize; additional prizes are $3,000 for the Runner-Up and $2,000 for the First Runner-Up.

If one of your breeds is listed as a competitor and you are also attending, we welcome the opportunity to have one of our local breeders play "host" to one of their fellow enthusiasts. You could help one of these International Guests by being "A Eukanuba Breed Smart Partner". They might need assistance in finding a grooming space, the need for a grooming table, since many won't be able to travel with one, or just a chance to show the rest of the world how great the American Breeder/Exhibitors really are. Please contact me at: mlc@akc.org and I will make the connection for the breed you're interested in hosting.

The participating countries have been divided into four sections, and three dogs from each section will advance to the final. The sections will be judged by a panel of distinguished international judges.
